I don't really believe those figures are that low at all. It's sold out everywhere round here, and my friends around the country have confirmed this. No way is it that low.

well the article did say it sold out.  if 40k is the real number the question to ask is why did nintendo ship so few?

Im guessing we are getting the same conflicting information about the UK launch as with the US launch.  Officials are saying its sold out, but people on the ground are saying its not.

Nintendo is out of WiiUs storage, because they did not ship more units for that area and the stores bought them all. But there are units still sitting in the stores, because people dont care :)

So Nintendo storage of WiiU is sold out, but the console is not sold out in the stores.
